The Hymns of Zarathustra: Yasna 30

Now I will speak to those who will hear
Of the things which the initiate should remember:
The praises and prayer of the Good Mind to the Lord
And the joy which he shall see in the light who has remembered them well.

Hear with your ears that which is sovereign good;
With a clear mind look upon the two sides
Between which each man must choose himself,
Watchful beforehand that the great test may be accomplished
in our favour.

       *                   *                         *

Now at the beginning the twin spirits have declared their nature,
The better and the evil,
In thought and word and deed. And between the two
The wise ones choose well, not so the foolish.

And when these two spirits came together,
In the beginning they established life and non-life.
And that at the last the worst experience should be for the wicked,
But for the righteous on the Best Mind.

Of these two spirits, the evil one chose to do the worst things;
But the Most Holy Spirit, clothed in the most steadfast heavens,
Joined himself unto Righteousness;
And thus did all those those who delight to please the Wise Lord
by honest deeds.

Between the two, the false gods also did not choose rightly,
For while they pondered they were best by error,
So that they chose the Worst Mind.
Then did they hasten to join themselves unto Fury,
That they might by it deprave the existence of man.

And to him came Devotion, together with Dominion, Good Mind and Righteousness:
She gave endurance of body and the breath of life,
That he may be thine apart from them,
As the first by the retributions through the metal.

And when their punishment shall come to these sinners,
Then, O Wise One, shall thy Dominion, with the Good Mind,
Be granted to those who have delivered Evil into the hands of
Righteousness, O Lord!

And may we be those that renew this existence!
O Wise One, and you other Lords, and Righteousness, bring your alliance,
That thoughts may gather where wisdom is faint.

Then shall Evil cease to flourish,
While those who have acquired good fame
Shall reap the promised reward
In the blessed dwelling of the Good Mind, of the Wise One, and of Righteousness.

If you, O men understand the commandments which the Wise One has given,
Well-being and suffering-long torment for the wicked and salvation for the righteous-
All shall hereafter be for the best.

I wade my weight through Dawn's early rising
Constantly surmising what is and what is not surely meant to be.
Freedom seeks and tethers me
Hard pressed against her star-shaped cosmogony
I am trying to see what is this burning Phoenix rising from inside of me.
This heart shaped box is the propensity of my Destiny
I am letting go of the flesh of me and offering up the ghost of Yesterme
I am setting free all the parts no longer meant to be
I consider all I am prepared to see
And realize the focus meant is the breath in me
I am reckoning to the stars we all were born of
Walking through the waters as my location is getting warmer
And I remember not regret all things former
Because I realize they are all a part of who I am
Standing at the brink of eternal salvation
And the Universere prepares me with her conflagration
I am reminded by deep soul penetration
This sensation running down my spine is no longer explained by Father Time
I am serpentine, coiled and shedding my skin
Drink me in and the rest will flow
Nature is the Wu Wei to my soul
I fall out of control and simply float
A message in a bottle encapsulated and flowing out of time
Rhyme over reason
Change of the season
Some will accuse me of treason
But I remember why I came
Hard pressed to find a body
And please let go of all your mocking
We are a temple in the making
There is no more time for idle faking
Shaking of the fist or anger at the sky
It is our time to rise

Among the Stars

First, I have to say I am sorry for Whitney Houston's family, loved ones, friends and fans. Her voice carried us through many of life's beautiful endeavours and I am saddened by her tragic end. May we all remember, we never know when it is our time. We all suffer vices, addictions, fears, & afflictions. May we rise above & become the stars we are.

And made of stars we are. Our physical must learn to carry our divinity far. "Cars pass by on Dawn's Highway Bleeding." (Jim Morrison). I am the ghost of yesterday past when I do not allow yesterday to remain in the past. Of course all we have accomplished and every limitation we have faced is a part of our positive tomorrow. Yet, there are many choices we can make that will allow us the freedom to build a brighter tomorrow, sooner rather than later.

Right now, in my personal life, I am being tried by the Universe with cosmic fire. I am building the necessary breaths to become the right words at the right time to the right people. I am a constant walking work in progress. Evolution of soul. That is my purpose. My inspiration. My perpetuation. I hunger and thirst for righteous knowledge.


The thing about myself I am most seeking to augment is my natural tendency for worry, anxiety, nervous circular patterns in my mind. I am a perpetually positive person, yet, I seem to fret my way through the beginning stages of any unfortunate event. All the while, my spirit overstands that what is happening is for a reason yet the season still causes me fear. Fear and love, being our two base emotions, this become more readily understandable when digesting my human mind. However, I desire to rise above. Nirvana awaits in every breath. Who knows what moment will be our last of this present incarnation.

My truck, (a.k.a. Lady Blue, a.k.a. Blue Beast, or simply Beast)  was repossessed by people that have much less claim on it than I do if we were to look at it outside of this broken system. I had almost rebuilt my credit to a high level. I had consolidated through a debt management company. Blah~blah~blah! I cried. I will be honest, it has not been easy. I have played by their rules. I am hard working. Passionate. Intelligent. I feel like I failed. I feel like I lost the match. I know that material things are nothing in the spiritual realm. Anyone who knows me well knows that I am not rapped up in them or hard to please. A Saturday walk in the park and a nap in the Sun on a blanket is worth more than a million dollars in my Universe. However, I lost my house, my dog, my grandparents, my man, my truck all in just over a year's time. Why? Now, that, my darlings is the question.

So, I began writing a song that I am very much looking forward to finishing. You can take everything, everything I own. But you can't take this music out of my soul. Come on, let them take it all away. I ain't gonna change. This point of view, well it ain't that new. We an ancient people with ancient truth. So, come on baby take it all away. I ain't gonna change.

Within this time of Cosmic Augmentation, I have also lost a few of the people who housed my Inner Sanctum. I ask myself, why? Well, the answer has come to me on multiple levels in multiple harmonic resonances. I am grateful for all Wu Wei is guiding me to. I am becoming stronger, and more ready for my Destiny. Painful, though it certainly is. I am utterly grateful.

I walk on lighter, more focused, and with renewed spiritual charge. They can take me down to my backpack and my Sneakers, and I will still walk across this globe, fresh music spilling over the top of my soul. They cannot control my Destiny, and it rests great with me. I may falter, fall or sometimes feel failure. But, I will never quit, I will never cease to exist. I am eternal filled with Divine Essence of holy unadulterated life. I am all that I was meant to be. And by the time this is done with me, I will be all that I need to be at exactly that moment in time.

Stars we are, and to the stars shall we return. Burn the brightest your soul can be, and all will open before you in due time. In due season. It is treason to doubt. Faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. May we all remember what it is to breathe. To truly believe. To leave the guesswork for the forces that guide our lives.

Thank you to all who have offered support. Thank you for the waves of love and healing that have come to me from all parts of the globe. I love you all.

Live. Love. Laugh.

Number One

Night blindness. We suffer from the winding of roads we cannot see. I am not a black and white, traditional, organized anything. But, a little faith is a good thing. Truth spoken. We wonder. We worry. We gain anxiety in our chest, and leave no room for proper breath. We fill our bodies with things that are not made of health. We are temples. People say, "You are what you eat." Well, what have we learned in this digitally advanced, imagery ridden, technological age? Did we cure cancer? Have we done away with waning eyesight? Did we figure out how not to contract HIV, STD's? Have we learned how to respect other nationalities, cultures, religions? Where are we headed? As America suffered a lapse in economy, what kind of thoughts have gone through our minds? Are we ready to take steps forward to create a new model? Can we bring the jobs home? Can we all learn to do what we love and return to an age of Craft, Trade, Calling? If Happiness is a choice and positive thought can breed forward momentum, then I suggest the motion to the floor that we get up now, together! I am ready. So many of us are. We cannot stay seated and continue to complain about what is wrong in our society. We must be passionate, believe we CAN. Commit that we WILL. And get up and make it happen. Are we listening to the slogans, commercials, the propaganda we allow our brains to radiate? All I am trying to say, is now is the time. Now is the hour. Ours is the light. Ours is the power. We are the ones here to make a difference. May we stand up now and remember. Remember why we approached life on this planet. Remember how we became lazy and stagnant. Realize we are able to change it. Then, get up and make it so.

Latest Version

We are a society at war with ourselves. We tell ourselves things we know are bad for us will make us happy. We spend hours in front of one screen or another (yes, I see the irony) wasting time on momentary satisfaction of television, pornography, video games, etc. Later we complain that we have not time to do the things we "really would like to do". Where are we aiming our ascension? What type of society would we like to bridge to? We sit around moaning about what is wrong with the world while we make mediocre attempts to affect change all the while telling ourselves that we "tried". I am just as guilty as any other human being. I am aware of my vices. Aware of my fault lines. I am ready for change. Great and cosmic, mountain moving, inexorable change. I am ready to move mountains. I am ready to walk across the Ocean. I will build a bridge across races, religions, cultures, sexual preferences. We must alter our course or all these Armageddon (and similar) prophecies will become our reality. I believe we have a choice. I know that I do. I intend to make the best version of me that is Divinely and Humanly possible. I am back in school. I am engaging in fasting, prayer, meditation, building effective mantras, writing my emotions into unison with the cosmic forces around me. I am studying the life and Spirit of Doctor Martin Luther King, JR. I am gleaning in from so many sources right now. I am steadfast in my direction. I am realizing the full light of my potential. The only thing I could hope is that all of us will become the best version of ourselves that we can possibly be. Forward momentum. Perpetual groove. People on the move. One person can affect world change.
